Ingredients

4 bananas

50 g butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

125 ml thickened cream

butter (extra)

For crepes

3/4 cup plain flour

1 egg

1 1/4 cup milk

30 g butter (melted)

pinch salt

Method

1

To make crepe batter, sift flour into a large bowl. In a separate bowl or jug, whisk together egg and milk. Add this to flour with butter and salt and whisk to combine. Refrigerate for at least one hour.

2

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Grease with a little extra butter then pour in approximately 1/4 cup batter. Swirl pan quickly to coat evenly. Leave for 1-2 minutes until golden. Lift up edge of crepe with spatula and carefully flip. Cook for 20 seconds then remove to a plate. Continue with remaining batter to make 8 crepes.

3

Peel bananas and slice thickly. Place half of the butter and half of the brown sugar in a frying pan over medium heat and stir until butter melts. Add bananas and cook, turning, for 2-3 minutes until bananas are golden. Remove from frying pan and set aside.

4

Add remaining butter and sugar to the frying pan along with the cream. Cook for 1-2 minutes until a thick caramel forms. Meanwhile, take a crepe and place a few pieces of cooked banana on top. Fold over in half, then in half again to form a triangle. Carefully place folded crepe into the pan straight on top of the caramel sauce and allow to warm through. Using a large metal spoon or spatula, turn to coat in sauce. Remove to a serving plate. Repeat with remaining crepes.

Notes

If crepe batter is too thick and you are having trouble getting it to evenly coat the frying pan, whisk in a little more milk.

The crepes can be made well ahead of time.

If you were being super indulgent, you could serve these with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Add a little salt to the sauce to turn these into salted caramel banana crepes.
